Measuring errors of parameters of size, shape and color during automated screening of skin pigmented neoplasms.

Abstract

The paper describes the features of measuring parameters of size, shape, and color in automated screening of melanoma and skin pigmented neoplasms. Based on the known clinical parameters of pigmented skin neoplasms a set of measured parameters are proposed. The allowable errors of measuring the linear parameters and area parameters using numerical parameters of size are determined. A factors that introduce random errors of measuring the linear parameters and area parameters by the body mapping are considered. Measuring errors of linear parameters and area parameters are estimated analytically. The measurement errors for color parameters of skin pigmented neoplasms by body mapping are presented. The possibility of automated screening of melanoma and skin pigmented neoplasms by body mapping are confirmed.
